In Reply to: Re: Have you seen Matrix? posted by Victor Khomenko on July 19, 2000 at 13:44:54:
Interesting observations... I think we are in agreement on the major issues... perhaps my senses have been numbed from a steady diet of violent American cinema. I don't really perceive Matrix as violent movie per se as it takes place in a cyber-world and therefore none of the violence is "real" and all of the action is way over the top. I suppose it's easy to get desensitized when you see a character get killed every 10 seconds on TV...I agree with you about Clockwork Orange being a work of art, but find it sad that the violence that was considered "science fiction" in the sixties had become a common daily American occurrence less than 30 years later.
I have to interject that the violence in the Matrix and probably in many other movies should be understood symbolically by the audience. Unfortunately one cannot expect the mainstream to not take things literally, which is where problems arise...There is no spoon,
Andrew
